By Year

This dimension groups economic events by the year in which they occurred. Wikipedia notes that economic historians use "a combination of historical methods, statistical methods, and the application of economic theory to historical situations," methods that always place an event in one specific year. Browsing by event year lets a visitor compare events that happened at the same time.
